Branson would be travelling to space in a VSS Unity rocket as part of the Unity 22 mission by the company. It will be carrying a full crew into space for the first time that is made up of two pilots and four mission specialists in the cabin, one of the specialists being the business magnate himself. His role involves evaluating the customer spaceflight experience. The July 11 trip would be the 22nd flight test for the VSS Unity and fourth crewed spaceflight of Virgin Galactic. The space flight is going to be livestreamed globally.
The purpose of the space trip
As per a Virgin Galactic blog post, the mission will focus on “evaluating the commercial customer cabin with a full crew, including the cabin environment, seat comfort, the weightless experience, and the views of Earth that the spaceship delivers — all to ensure every moment of the astronaut’s journey maximizes the wonder and awe created by space travel and demonstrating the conditions for conducting human-tended research experiments.”
